Casey Anthony Case Summary

travels to the airport, and he leaves on an American Airlines flight to Chicago.” (O.J. Simpson Trial: Night of the Murders Timeline, 2007) The contrast in these cases is that Casey Anthony was said to be carefree throughout the month that her two year old daughter Caylee went missing and Casey had nothing to occupy her time with, so she could have well as likely be a good candidate as the murder, while with OJ Simpson, they looked at him as always being a busy man, who on the very same night as the double murder, was still on the move, although claiming he overslept.

In both cases, the defense teams faced the ethical dilemma of choosing to defend these cases, even if this meant defending a possible murderer and helping to set them free. The moral judgement of the juror was questioned and doubted based on the verdict after being presented with overwhelming evidence by the public and officials. In the OJ Simpson case, officers who were in charge of certain areas of the crime scene were brought to the stand and questioned based on racial and contamination evidence. The defense attorneys tried their hardest to get these evidence and present them to the predominantly African-American jury. This made the court and criminal justice system question the discretion of the police officer who worked on the crime scene.
